Stripe

Access the Stripe API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage customers, subscriptions, invoices, products, prices, and process payments.

Quick Start

# List customers
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers?limit=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://api.maton.ai/stripe/{endpoint-path}

The gateway proxies requests to api.stripe.com and automatically injects your OAuth token. Only the endpoints documented in the API Reference section below are supported — always use specific endpoint paths from that section rather than constructing arbitrary paths.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Stripe OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=stripe&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'stripe'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-01T06:04:02.431819Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-10T22:40:01.061825Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "stripe",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Stripe connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Always include the Maton-Connection header to ensure requests go to the intended Stripe account. If you have multiple connections and omit this header, the gateway uses a default connection, which may not be the intended account. Confirm the connected Stripe account before any write or payment action.

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to customers, subscriptions, invoices, products, prices, and payments within the connected Stripe account. This is financial data — install only if you need Stripe administration. Connect with least-privileged OAuth scopes and revoke unused connections promptly.
• Default to read-only operations. Always start by listing or retrieving resources to confirm object IDs, amounts, and account context before proposing any changes.
• All write operations require explicit user approval with specific details. Before executing any POST, PUT, or DELETE call:
  1. Retrieve and display the target resource (customer name/ID, subscription ID, invoice number, product name) so the user can verify.
  2. Show the exact endpoint, object IDs, amounts, and whether the account is in test or live mode.
  3. Clearly describe the intended effect (e.g., "This will cancel subscription 'sub_123' for customer 'John Doe' (cus_456) — billing will stop immediately").
  4. Wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding.
• Financial operations are high-impact and may be irreversible. Processing payments, creating invoices, canceling subscriptions, deleting customers, and modifying prices affect real billing. These actions must include a summary of financial consequences and require confirmation.

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers?limit=10',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.data);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'limit': 10}
)
data = response.json()
for customer in data['data']:
    print(f"{customer['id']}: {customer['email']}")

Notes

• Stripe API uses application/x-www-form-urlencoded for POST requests (not JSON)
• Amounts are in the smallest currency unit (e.g., cents for USD)
• IDs start with prefixes: cus_ (customers), prod_ (products), price_ (prices), sub_ (subscriptions), in_ (invoices), ch_ (charges), pi_ (payment intents)
• Timestamps are Unix timestamps
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with stripe. For example:

• Correct: https://api.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/v1/customers
